===== Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA) diagnostics =====
The ALSA packages provide audio support and also drivers for some modems.
ALSA diagnostics are written during bootup to /proc/asound/ folders.
The ALSA verion is 1.0.18
The modem cards detected by "aplay -l" are: None
The /proc/asound/pcm file reports:
-----------------------
00-00: ALC662 Analog : ALC662 Analog : playback 1 : capture 1
00-01: ALC662 Digital : ALC662 Digital : playback 1 : capture 1
01-00: USB Audio : USB Audio : capture 1
about /proc/asound/cards:
------------------------
0 [Intel ]: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel
HDA Intel at 0xe1380000 irq 16
1 [camera ]: USB-Audio - USB camera
USB camera at usb-0000:00:1d.3-1, full speed
PCI slot 00:1b.0 has a High Definition Audio Card
The drivers are in the kernel modules tree at:
/lib/modules/2.6.28-11-generic/kernel/sound/pci/hda/snd-hda-intel.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.28-13-generic/kernel/sound/pci/hda/snd-hda-intel.ko
UNEXPECTED HDA diagnostic outcome.

Predictive diagnostics for card in bus 03:00.0:
Modem chipset detected on

Writing DOCs/Intel.txt
The ESScom 125d:2838 chipset modems are not supported under Linux.
Read DOCs/InfoGeneral.txt about hardware alternatives.
Predictive diagnostics for card in bus 00:1b.0:
Modem chipset not detected on
NAME="Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G "
CLASS=0403
PCIDEV=8086:27d8
SUBSYS=1458:a002
IRQ=16
HDA=8086:27d8
SOFT=8086:27d8.HDA
High Definition Audio (HDA) cards MAY host a modem chip in their Subsystem,
and many are supported by the ALSA audio+modem driver snd-hda-intel
A modem was not detected on HDA card 8086:27d8.
If another modem card is present, then most likely 8086:27d8 does not host a modem.
If another modem card has not been detected, then possibilities are:
1) A Conexant modem chip is present on 8086:27d8, as Conexant chips
are frequently not detectable by ALSA diagnostics
2) The modem may be of the older non-PCI Controller Chipset (hardware) type.
Try detection with Root permission:
sudo wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf

Support can likely be achieved through two mutually exclusive alternatives:
1) The hsfmodem software for Conexant chipset modems: Read DOCs/Conexant.txt
The following ALSA alternative CANNOT work with Conexant modems.
2) An ALSA modem driver plus slmodemd. Read DOCs/Smartlink.txt for details, and
to test get the package SLMODEMD.gcc4.3.tar.gz from:

Completed candidate modem analyses.
The base of the UDEV device file system is: /dev/.udev
Versions adequately match for the compiler installed: 4.3.3
and the compiler used in kernel assembly: 4.3.3
Minimal compiling resources appear complete:
make utility - /usr/bin/make
Compiler version 4.3
linuc_headers base folder /lib/modules/2.6.28-13-generic/build
However some compilations and executable functions may need additional files,
in the FileNames.h (so called kernel "h"eaders) collection installed in /usr/include/ .
For martian_modem, additional required packages are needed. The also required headers of package libc6 are commonly installed by default.
Compiling hsfmodem drivers does require linux-libc-dev and libc6-dev packages, for kernels 2.6.24 and later versions.
In not included on your install CD, search for them at http://packages.ubuntu.com
or comparable Repository for other Linux distros.
When compiling ALSA drivers, the utility "patch" will also be needed.
Compressed files at: /usr/src/sl-modem.tar.bz2
If a driver compilation fails, with message including some lack of some FileName.h (stdio.h for example), then
Some additional kernel-header files need installation to /usr/include. The minimal additional packages are libc6-dev
and any of its dependents, under Ubuntu linux-libc-dev
If an alternate ethernet connection is available,
$ apt-get update
$ apt-get -s install linux-kernel-devel
will install needed packages.
For Debian/Ubuntu related distributions, run the following command to display the needed package list:
Otherwise packages have to be found through http://packages.ubuntu.com
Once downloaded and transferred into a Linux partition,
they can be installed alltogether with:
$ sudo dpkg -i *.deb

In case of an "error 17" "serial loopback" problem, see:

To enable dialout without Root permission do:
$ su - root (not for Ubuntu)
sudo chmod a+x /usr/sbin/pppd
or under Ubuntu related Linuxes
sudo chmod a+x /usr/sbin/pppd

In case of a message like:
Warning: Could not modify /etc/ppp/pap-secrets: Permission denied
see http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/bigarch/archive-sixth/msg04656.html
Read Modem/DOCs/YourSystem.txt concerning other COMM channels: eth0 ppp0

Don't worry about the following, it is for experts should trouble shooting be necessary.
